vWorker CEO, Ian Ippolito, explained that "micro-enterprises vastly improve the lives of their owners, by giving them self-sufficiency. This gives them the ability to provide for themselves and their families and the dignity that comes with that. It also creates a wider positive social impact that affects their entire communities."
$60,0000 went to provide:
1) Business skills training and micro-credit to aid entrepreneurs who are conflict survivors in Cote d'Ivoire.
2) Business skill training and micro-credit to Nicaraguan entrepreneurs.
3) Micro-credit to marginalized women starting businesses in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Georgia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Sierra Leone.
4) Micro-credit to entrepreneurs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Guatemala, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Tajikistan.
